Great family films are often passed down through generations and not only do the films themselves bring great memories but also the memorable characters. Coming together to watch a film as a family can be a great way to spend time with your loved ones. Prime Video would love to know what your family films are and why?

Here’s what Prime Video have to say: “The smash hit family film Paddington 2 has just been added to Prime Video, joining thousands of great movies and TV shows the whole family can enjoy. Paddington 2 sees the loveable bear settled into life with the Brown Family and starting to do some odd jobs so he can buy Aunt Lucie a birthday present. Before he can get it, the gift is stolen by a master thief and Paddington is the suspect.”

“To celebrate, we want to hear what classics you watch with your kids. Prime Video has many to enjoy including Yogi Bear, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Gruffalo, Casper, The Wizard of Oz, Nanny McPhee, E.T, Beethoven, Tom and Jerry, Pingu, Thomas and Friends, Scooby-Doo, Kung-Fu Panda and Shaun The Sheep.”

What do you enjoy watching with your whole family? Do you go for the classic such as ET and The Wizard of Oz or do you prefer the new films such as Kung Fu Panda? Or maybe your family has a staple film that you all watch on special occasions?

Whatever your favourite films are to watch as a family, share them on the thread below to be entered into a prize draw to win 1 of 3 Amazon Fire Kids Edition Tablets, made just for kids.

Thanks and good luck

For us it's Despicable Me 1, the snowman (and the snowdog straight after on Xmas eve, a family tradition from when I was little) and lastly my DD can't stop watching the greatest showman.

We love snuggling up to watch a film on a rainy Sunday afternoon.. our favourites;

• Labyrinth
• Boxtrolls
• The Iron Giant
• Finding Nemo/Finding Dory
• Spirited Away

My DC are 6 and 4.5.

Firm favourites are Toy Story 3, Sing, and The Lion King. When they were younger they adored Room on the Broom. They recently watched Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (Gene Wilder) for the first time and LOVED it

ET
Frozen
And at Christmas time Home Alone

We love labyrinth, Oliver and Moana.

Despicable me
Daddy daycare
Nanny McPhee

Any Thomas the tank engine movie

Boss baby

We watched minions the other day with our 3 boys and to be honest, I think myself and my partner laughed as much as our boys.
It was great to spend some time with our children, copied up in bed, giggling. It was a lovely way to end the evening

everyone has such different tastes in films...but will all sit and watch Hotel Transylvania and really enjoy it x x

DD(5) absolutely adores all of the Disney princesses and their associated movies. DH and I aren't so keen, but we find a happy compromise with 'Brave'. It may just be our Celtic roots of course :)

Moana
Jungle Book
Paddington 1 and 2
Finding Nemo
Trolls
Alice in Wonderland
Wallice and Gromit (various)
Sing
Obviously, these are on the list as my kids never get bored of watching these films again and again! I don't mind watching them too!

Pretty much all of Disney movies!

My little ones love The Snowman, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt, Frozen and Moana.

Monster House
Paddington 1 & 2
Spirited Away
Lego Movies
The Incredibles
Wreck it Ralf

We enjoy watching the Dr Doolittle films and at Christmas time Elf as this always makes us laugh.

Our favourite was always Matilda. We all watched it and would never tire ....loved reliving it afterwards too.

I love watching with my DC the films I watched when I was their age like Never Ending Story as well as finding new films that we all enjoy like Nanny Mcphee.

Kung Fu Panda

I Love watching films with my kids, especially films I enjoyed as a child
Matilda is our all time favourite. I think we all know it word for word
Bambi always has us in tears
Mary Poppins has us all singing along
And a very old one my mums favourite, and now my family's Whistle Down the Wind.
We enjoy all the Disney Films.

Too many to mention but the first airing of Elf each Christmas is probably the most eagerly awaited film of the year.

We love:
Jumanji
E.T. the Extra-terrestrial
Frozen
Beauty and the Beast

I love my life as dog

We like the How To Train Your Dragon Films, the Julia Donaldson films- gruffalo, room on the broom, the highway rat.
And anything Disney- current favourite is Incredibles
